Ever considered becoming a bone marrow or blood stem cell donor? Follow this true story of a former NCI employee, Serena Marshall, as she takes you through her blood stem cell donation experience at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) are most commonly used in the treatment of cancers like leukemia and lymphoma to restore stem cells that have been destroyed by high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy

In July, Siteman Cancer Center's bone marrow and stem cell transplant program completed its 5000th transplant. Because transplant patients spend so much time at Siteman during their treatment, our nurses form special bonds with many of them.

Mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow are capable of differentiating into cardiomyocytes. However the characteristics of the stem cells are poorly understood, and how the progeny of multipotent cells adopt one fate among several possible fates remains a fundamental question
